I would love it if I could just ssh in and fix it for them. Can you do that with macs?
You most assuredly can. Just turn on "Remote Login" in the Sharing pane of the System Preferences. Of course, you should establish an admin account for yourself on their machine first.
You can also install a VNC server on their machine for a GUI control method.
There needs to be an active enforcement of CSS and HTML standards that ALL browser manufacturers have to adhere by, or be forced to eat their balls, or something equally horrific.
This has long been enforced. It has proven ineffective mainly because the browser manufacturers have no balls to eat.
I suspect/predict that some open source initiative will have an installable, workable implementation shortly (if not already); that Apple'll be first to market with a generally usable solution that will deliver on the concept in such a way that the average user won't find it geeky, intimidating or even particularly remarkable; and that Microsoft will then deliver a rougher product several months later and tout it as a startingly new innovation that clearly shows their lead and command of the market.

Or go get Printer Setup Repair (for Panther) or Print Center Repair (for Jaguar) at MacUpdate or VersionTracker.

Yet. And probably won't until some online distribution mechanism gets popular enough to be a demander instead of a supplicant. Currently the record companies have the upper hand. That can change. Someone's probably counting on it...
Nah, the "kids" have a short attention span. Napster is soooo yesterday's news.

No. Napster 2 isn't associated with the original Napster phenomenon by ANY of the generation or mindset to which you allude. They've moved on...
And they're well aware of the attempts by marketing droids to broker the rebel Napster image into commercial viability via Napster 2. But unfortunately for the marketing geniuses, it's not in the name but the game.
So first you ship the jobs out, so you're no longer hostage to the demands of Big Labor. Then you automate and mechanise, bringing the productivity back but still keeping Labor out. Interesting.
I wrote this in a similar thread elsewhere: other than the near-high of mainframe assembler, the most fun I _ever_ had was with HyperTalk after Hypercard was introduced. I was very accustomed to writing pseudocode to roughly draft a solution as we often did not know which language or platform would be spec'd for a given problem or new process. Interestingly, HyperTalk ran what I regarded as pseudocode practically unchanged! After dealing with the constraints of the professional world, coming home to HyperTalk was very liberating. No project manager, no punched cards, no dumb terminals, no operations personnel, no compile-debug-recode cycle, no undecipherable error messages and so on. I remember being fascinated by the variable "it". As in: get that_variable. Add 1 to it. I loved the obvious way that worked and I've missed it ever since.
